Data are expressed as median values, interquartile ranges (IIQ) and numbers of individuals evaluated (N), or as proportions (%) with the number of individuals evaluated in parentheses. The Mann–Whitney test was used to determine statistical differences between DP and DNtotal; p values considered statistically significant (p < 0.05) are shown in bold. DP, dual-positive; DNtotal, total double-negative; NA, not analyzed.
